                                Miniature Schnauzer report

SBD(4)  1st & Best SB Moorcroft's Amorevita Uranus JW a good start to the day with this nicely headed  black. He has a good ribcage, perhaps a tad longer in loin than I like, but he is nicely angulated aft and so sound on the move. Presented in excellent condition with such a good coat texture. Moved out with confidence and good head carriage.  2nd Wilson's Two Tone Elios  scored in head properties and expression.  The skull so flat and the ears  set high and nicely folded. Ample neck, well ribbed and well muscled hindquarters. I felt he just lacked the rear drive of the winner as they circled the ring. 3rd Murphy's Funflash Now Is The Time

VD(1)  1st Barton's Beanara Secret's Out lovely head planes, such expressive eyes giving a keen expression, enough neck, nicely ribbed and short backed. In excellent coat he held his topline well as he went around the ring. Has kept his youth!!

MPD(1)  1st White's Funflash Rebel Rebel tis youngster was good to handle on the table as he has a delightful head and expression as he  is well bodied   & nicely ribbed. Shown in good coat he played his handler up when moving, bowing his hocks and generally doing what HE wanted.

PD(7/1)  1st & BP Davidson's Wellingly Wot A Mix my notes are brief! Very stylish, super head and expression, immaculate in presentation so sound on the move and has great potential. Title bound.  2nd Searson's Traphens  Colossus another with heaps to admire and unlucky to meet the winner in such form. Well shaped and balanced head with such expressive eyes and well carried ears adding to his charm. His fore and aft angulation is good, coat a lovely texture and so well presented and in profile his action is balanced. 3rd Lowton-Humphries' Nujax Nice  To See You (naf)

JD(4) 1st Carver's Oldbashurst Ko Phi Phi  a dark pepper lad with much to admire.  His length/height proportions are so good, being compact, big ribcage, ample forechest and straight fore legs.  Uses that good neck to best advantage and was so well presented in coat. Held his shape as he circled the ring and his presence enhanced the line up for the CC.2nd A. Uranus JW 3rd Mansere's Ch Nujax Blue Moon

GD(2/1)  1st F. Now Is The Time a quality body shape with a good reach in neck, nicely proportioned headpiece and such expressive eyes. Tail well set and carried and side on his action is even striding.  Just a tad too wide in hock when rear viewed.

PGD(4/1)  1st  O. Ko Phi Phi 2nd F. Now Is The Time

LD(4)  1st  CC & BOB Dawson's Gryselda Step In Time I just fell for him on sight. His pepper and salt jacket was immaculate in presentation. I loved his wither height, the well laid shoulders, the tightly arched feet, that slight slope in topline to well angulated hindquarters. His head is a delight, oozes class and his expression was so alive with that ready for anything look!! He drifted around the ring with such ease yet so purposefully with reach and drive. Surely title bound!    2nd Descere's Dorado Tyras Akvamarinas (Imp Ltu) what a quality and handsome headed black this is.  Loved his length/height proportions, well balanced head, very good eyes and ears, nicely arched neck, well ribbed and in excellent coat.  Not quite the free and purposeful stride of the winner but so much to admire. 3rd McDermott's  Lichstone Call The Wind

OD(7/2)  1st & Res CC Lowton-Huphries & Mansers' Nujax Super  another title bound dog of real quality. Stylish fits this handsome headed chap, oozes quality and was immaculate in coat and body presentation. Loved his neck length and head carriage, short backed and excellent hindquarters. Moved out well and ran the ticket winner very close.   2nd Hood's Starbound Satchmo another beautifully headed,  top quality example of the breed.  A bit restless on the table to begin with but settled.  He is well constructed, excellent fore assembly with good sternum, lovely tight feet and well bodied.  Not quite the tightness in front action of the winner  3rd Parker & McDonald's Violis Wait N'see Shcex 

SBB(3)  1st Butler's Brown Sugar Lady For Devorasjoy nicce for size and height/length proportions. Pleasing head, sufficient neck, well presented coat and so well ribbed.  Side action balanced and holds her shape well. 2nd Mulvihill's  Kristec Star Performance I liked her head and expression, sufficient reach in neck, decent forechest, quite compact, not quite the rear angulation of the winner but sound in action.3rd Thompson's Tukiwanas Basket of Fire

VB(1) 1st & BV Gordon's Ch Surechanz Quartzite For Maritzi what a charmer.  7 years young and has supped at the fountain of youth. Fit as a flea, so well bodied and ribbed, her expression  belies her years and she is so sound moving around the ring with such panache and drive. 

MPB(4/1)  1st White's Scauster Wannabe just 6 months but what a confident little madam.  Unfazed by the proceeding, delightfully headed, nicely ribbed, food length/height proportions and she moved out with such style and confidence.  2nd McDonald's Risepark First Lady of Heibri  beautifully coated and presented and again much promise. Well bodied, compact good reach in neck .side action is light footed and ground covering.  Her skull is good, neat ears and good eyes.  Just needs to fill out in muzzle. 3rd Bradshaw's Zowie Z Bieleho Domu For Kaiteriteri (Imp Svk)

PB(6)  1st Searson's Traphens Rigue the best in reach of neck and outline on the stack. Pleasing head, ears could be tighter and higher set, enough neck, decent ribbing and shown in good coat. Best mover in the class.  2nd Saunder's Cleopatra Thea  pleasing head qualities with good eyes and expression. Bit upright in shoulder and leans back on the stack. Quite short coupled, in good coat but never really settled on the move. 3rd Wallis' Dayporium Waves A Wand

JB(6/1)  1st & Res CC Copper's Violis Poetic Haiku For Copellastar I liked on sight. P/S so stylish on the stack, short coupled, gently sloping topline, delightful head and expression aided by such neat correctly set ears & ample reach in neck adding to her charm. She was immaculate in coat and moved around the ring with such style and drive, foot perfect in front and good rear drive.   2nd Boyle's Stornovar Deja Vu another top class example of the breed and she too has much to admire. Beautifully headed, super expression and the neatest of ears. Well bodied, compact in shape and using her good neck to best advantage on the stack.  Not quite the tightness in front of the winner but she is worthy of much success.  3rd Descere's Amorevita Zaria

GB(6/1)  1st Mulvihill's Pendlearia Music   I would like her to carry more weight but she scored here in reach of neck, sloping topline. rear angulation and ground covering profile action.2nd Butler's Brown Sugar Lady for Devorasjoy nice for size, pleasing head properties well coated. enough neck, bit straight in stifle and not as steady in front action as the winner 3rd Barton's Beanara Sweet Secret

PGB(2/1)  1st Mulvihill's Kristec Star Performance nicely balanced head, neat ears, quite compact, would like more forechest, sufficient bend of stifle and covered the ground with a balanced side action. 

LB(5/1)  1st & CC Reeve's Deneens Fig Tart she came, I looked and was hooked so she ended up with the BCC. Ultra feminine in head and expression, immaculate in coat and presentation.  Stacked she is a joy to look at and she moved out with such confidence and drive with the air of being something special...which she is!  A real charmer. 2nd Gordon's Maritzi Front And Centre another classy example of the breed. Lovely construction and stacked she takes the eye. Uses that lovely neck to enhance her outline which slopes gently to well angulated hindquarters.  Sufficient forechest,  very good feet and covers the ground well in profile. Just not quite so true in hock when moving away but still of CC quality.  3rd  Carver's Oldashurst Time To Shine JW 

OB(4/2)  1st    Parker & McDonald's Ch Violis Stormy Skies JW   a very worthy titleholder shown in spotless coat and body condition.  Beautifully headed, she is sound moving and so responsive to her handler. I just preferred the topline of those I put over her in the challenge. 2nd P.Music Master
